2. There has always been some disagreement over the precise interpretation of the Ankara Agreement with some on the Turkish side arguing that it implied automatic entry to the EU in 1986. In fact, a careful reading of the relevant part of the Agreement (see note 3) clearly reveals that membership was conditional (as the EU insisted) on various conditions and the history of EU-Turkey relations records that the latter had not fulfilled the relevant conditions in 1986 and, therefore, was (quite rightly) not offered EU membership.
